Compared with what "renewables" producers are being paid, those nuke plants are going to be selling bargain basement priced electrickery.

Coal, oil and gas generation is going away. Renewables can match their current production but they can't meet the increases that are required to replace gas/oil heating, internal combustion engines and industrial processes such as cement making.
